Charleston’s Housing Boom: New Developments and Community Growth at Point Hope and Beyond

Exciting Developments Ahead for Charleston and Its Surroundings

Hello, Charleston! It seems our wonderful city is buzzing with growth and new plans that have got everyone talking. If you’ve been out and about, you might have noticed a new wave of housing developments cropping up, especially around the Point Hope area near Daniel Island. It’s hard to miss the changes — and they’re coming fast!

More Homes on the Way in Point Hope

First things first, let’s dive into what’s happening at Point Hope. This impressive master-planned community spans over 9,000 acres along Clements Ferry Road in Berkeley County, and its growth is far from slowing down. Recently, it was announced that three more developments are underway, and folks, it’s about to get busy!

Pulte Homes has put in a request to build 91 single-family homes on 45.4 acres as part of what they’re calling “Point Hope Pod 4.” This request comes just four months after they initially sought approval for the first phase, which consisted of 123 homes. It’s clear they have big plans!

But that’s not all! Ashton Residential is also getting in on the action with plans for a 110-townhome development across 42 acres at another spot on Clements Ferry. Talk about variety!

Affordable Housing Goals

In an excellent effort to ensure everyone can find a place to live, another project called Restore at Point Hope is proposing 158 residences — both attached and detached — on a nearly 92-acre property. This development is aimed at lending a helping hand to affordable housing in our growing community.

Why Point Hope is a Hot Spot

Since its inception in the 1990s, Point Hope has transformed remarkably. The first homes, known as the Paxton Hope Apartments, were completed in 2018, and now, as the rooftops multiply, so do the shops and services that residents desire.

New retailers like Ye Ole Fashioned, Catrina’s Tacos and Tequila Bar, and Dunkin’ have made their way into the community. Plus, there’s a Publix-anchored shopping center nearby, featuring an array of restaurants and medical offices. It’s fantastic to see our community catering to all the needs of the folks here.

Outdoor Fun for Everyone

If you’re a fan of outdoor spaces, we’ve got something lined up for you too! Doolittle Park, Point Hope’s signature amenity, is underway and will include a pool, tennis courts, and a recreational center scheduled to open in 2025. Named after aviation pioneer Jimmy Doolittle, this spot promises to be a delightful gathering area for residents to enjoy.

Flex Space Boom in Mount Pleasant

The Warehouse is preparing to take over an impressive 8,731-square-foot space in the Longpoint Commerce Center. This highlights the growing demand for flexible commercial spaces in our bustling market. It seems that Mount Pleasant is a great place for businesses to stretch their legs!

Continuing the Housing Boom

36 Cooper St. and another larger complex featuring 55 units at 678 King St. It’s exciting to see our beautiful city taking steps to include more housing options.

Catching Up on Tenant News

Central Island Square on Daniel Island is now fully leased! The fitness studio Bout Boxing is the final tenant to join this lively mix at 50 Central Island St.. Fitness is definitely a priority for many in Charleston!

What Else is New?

Johns Island. The Berry Co. is seeking to develop 72 residences on a 9-acre parcel. And over in West Ashley, plans are being reviewed for a whopping 250-unit apartment complex. Wow, the growth just keeps on coming!

That’s a wrap for today, Charleston! With all these exciting projects on the horizon, there’s no doubt that our beloved city is continuously flourishing. Keep exploring, stay informed, and enjoy the beautiful weather with highs of 76°F and a pleasant mix of clouds and sunshine. Cheers to the growth!
